!!! HATS OFF TO INVENTOR OF COOKIE TIN HEATER THANKS !!

BYC Member posted his/her idea on message board and inspired me to make one. The cookie tin heater was made using a exterior light bulb socket with a 40 wt high temperature oven light held in place with a reflector light bracket using a 6x32x1.5 inch stainless bolt secured thru bottom of tin and bracket.The plug is rubber outdoor type used to make extension cords.After placing lid on the unit is pluged into a THERMOCUBE (MFG by Farm Innovators available @ TSC) that allows current to come on @ 35 degrees off @ 45.

i made one using the larger tins that three-kinds-of-popcorn come in at Xmas time, and put it in the larger coop with my hens just to see if they would use it as a place to get warm by...sure enuf they did!!

I set it up on a cement tile and that way its up off the coop floor/shavings by 2 inches.

they like to stand/sit around it on the really cold days (12 degrees).
it's on a timer so it's only on a few hours each morning and night.
